More and more automobile companies started to develop full-hybrid concepts and so BMW AG. Their 2+2 seater concept combines excellent performance and greatest efficiency. The main idea of EfficientDynamics is more power, less emissions and less fuel consumption.

The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car is powered by a three-cylinder turbodiesel and two electric motors. Overall system output is 262 kW/356 hp and maximum torque of incredible 800 Newton-metres/590 lb-ft. All this power is put on the road by the All-wheel drive featuring an electric motor on both the front and rear axle.

The classic discipline from 0 to 100 km/h is covered in 4.8 seconds, the top speed is 250 km/h (155 mph) (electronically limited) , fuel consumption in the EU test cycle 3.76 litres/100 km (equal to 75.1 mph imp), CO2 emissions 99 grams/kilometre.

BMW didn’t forget about their motto “Sheer driving pleasure”, so the concept is orientated to that direction.

The design of BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is technology oriented by using lightweight materials and underlining the sport nature of the car. It comes with gullwing doors opening up to the side. The roof and door inserts made of polycarbonate glass automatically become darker as a function of incoming light.

The development aim is achieving the performance of a BMW M car and it the same time perfect fuel economy and emission management of a modern small car in the premium class.

BMW Vision EfficientDynamics offers a realistic impression of the unique potential of BMW ActiveHybrid technology and the great innovative thrust of BMW EfficientDynamics.

The overall result goes far beyond the development aim.
